Are you going through a tough time? Are you so full of anxiety that you find it challenging to navigate through the day? Parents, do you have a child that is struggling to focus at school or control their emotions? Are you hesitant to talk to somebody for fear of being judged? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? Starting a journey in therapy can be scary, however it might just be the best decision of your life. Through experience, I've come to learn that there is nothing more comforting than hearing the words “I understand, I’ve been there or I can relate.”

While everyone’s journey through life is unique, we ultimately all want the same thing…We ALL want to be happy. Unfortunately, happiness doesn't always come easily. Our journey is full of challenges that we have to overcome in order to get back to being happy. We experience sadness and loss. We fall completely in love only to suffer heart break. Some of us go through traumatic events such as combat or a devastating accident. These situations and many more cause us to develop feelings of fear, sadness and frustration which we do our best to manage, but typically do so in an unhealthy and maladapted way.

There are times in life where you may feel unequipped to deal with life's challenges, where you find old solutions and coping strategies do not solve the problem anymore, and may be in need of a different perspective. Therapy can be a wonderful resource for clients to get to know themselves better, adapt healthier coping skills and reach their goals and full potential to live a more fulfilling life. My goal as a counselor is to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere for clients to feel secure and supported on their journey towards self-fulfillment.

I will assist you in developing a plan for treatment that is tailored to your individual needs and I will make the commitment to accompany you throughout your journey.

Your life is an ongoing journey and it's time to make yourself a priority. Are you not living the life you dreamed of? Or do you often feel frustrated that your relationships, home life, and career are less than satisfying? Have you ever wondered what is stopping you from feeling happier, more confident, and in control of your future? We live in a society so busy that we can barely hear ourselves think. Its rare that anyone feels truly heard and listened to. I can help you to learn to lead a more authentic, self-actualizing life that works for you. Perhaps you're looking to take steps towards healing, but are unsure where to start.

I offer Telehealth therapy services to adolescents and adults with a focus on substance use and mental health. I also work with significant others (spouses/partners, siblings, parents etc.) who seek support to cope with a loved one's addiction or mental health. The decision to begin therapy is deeply personal and often comes with much consideration. Choosing to share your story and acknowledge life's challenges takes courage and can be a new beginning for personal growth. I am a person centered Clinical Social Worker and Certified Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor who will support you with compassion, dignity and respect.

Alcohol Use Therapists

Are there specific medications for alcohol use?

There are oral medications approved to treat alcohol use disorder—such as disulfiram, acamprosate, and naltrexone, which also comes in an injectable form. These medications do help people reduce their drinking as well as avoid the problem of relapse. Naltrexone helps reduce cravings, disulfiram can make a person feel sick when they drink, and acamprosate may help ease symptoms like poor sleep and anxious feelings.

How do alcohol recovery or rehabilitation programs work?

In inpatient programs, individuals live in a facility with other patients in recovery; in outpatient programs,individuals live at home. These facilities are staffed with healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, and psychotherapists. Staff can also include people who have recovered themselves, serving as mentors and guides. These programs may use abstinence, harm reduction, detoxification, psychotherapy, and other tools for recovery.

How do 12-step programs combined with psychotherapy work?

Members of 12-step programs help each other reach abstinence and work to maintain it. These programs promote complete change in the individual’s emotional, mental, physical, and even spiritual perspectives. Some programs require that new members attend 90 meetings in 90 days. Many people do attend these programs in conjunction with their work in psychotherapy; the combination of therapy along with 12-step can be extremely effective.

How does harm reduction combined with psychotherapy work?

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, harm reduction prevents death, injury, disease, overdose, and substance misuse. People who choose harm reduction for alcohol use reduce the amount of alcohol they intake. It is not abstinence-based like a 12-step program, but combining harm reduction with psychotherapy proves to be effective for many people.
